Description

Whether you are tourists or travellers, we want to make sure that you enjoy your visit to Meadow Row Belvedere to the full, so please tell us a bit about yourself, your requirements and the purpose of your visit before submitting a booking request.

THE SPACE

Bright double room in stylish new London flat minutes from London Bridge and Borough; great connections to all Central London (6 minutes to Trafalgar Square). Free fibre Wi-Fi.

The double room is a bright space which fits comfortably two people and is furnished with a very comfortable double bed, a computer desk with screen and Apple TV, clothes storage, shoe rack, and a large floor-to-ceiling double-glazed window with blinds overlooking the garden next door.

The bed is brand new and has a very comfortable, thick, firm mattress. It is wider than a standard double so it's perfectly suited for two people. It can also easily become a three-seater sofa to turn the space into a living area during the day. We have received so much positive feedback about the quality of the bed that we have chosen to list it as a real bed, although technically it's a futon bed.

GUEST ACCESS

You will also be sharing with us the other areas of the flat, and we would love you to feel at home as much as we do!

The full bathroom with shower-over-bath is brand new and is located just outside your bedroom.You will find plenty of towels and toiletries, linen, and a hair-dryer.

The living room is very bright and spacious, and looks over the large terrace where you can enjoy your breakfast or an afternoon tea on a sunny day (we do have those in London).

The building has video entry system, secure bicycle storage, lift, and step-free access.

Reviews of this property

The flat is super close to the underground station Elephant & Castle. It was very clean and modern. Davide and Jan were very friendly. They gave us a few tips which were very informative. If I return to London, I would come back to this flat if possible

Davide and Jan are very well organised. This makes staying at there place reliable. They have been flexible and so helping us make our schedule work.
The apartment is comfortable, clean and well equipped. We used the Santander-bicyles which are only a block away, really the perfect way to go around London. Also our train to / from Gatwick stopped just around the corner at Elephant & Castle.
But most of important of all Jan and Davide are nice company.

Davide and Jan are great (and friendly) hosts who are both able and willing to assist travellers. The accomodation is welcoming, neat and clean.
It was nice to chat with them and share the time and thoughts.

Davide and Jan were very good hosts and we really thank their support provided, with comments and suggestions for our days there.

It has been a really good period at their home being really nice. We did not expend quite a lot time at home, because we were almost the full day doing tourism, but those period at home were really good.

To summarize the pros and cons.
Pros:
1. With their willingness to help, we felt like at home.
2. We were able to use the kitchen when needed (we take some sandwiches few nights for dinner). This option adds flexibility to the trip and after talking with them to ensure an agreement, there was not a problem at all.
3. Everything regarding the house, the room, wifi, trip suggestions, support, etc.
Cons:
1. Check in: There is not 100% availability to check-in at any moment so it is very important to agree specific timings with them. Anyway, once agreed, there was not problems. You should bear this in mind, to think about what to do with your luggage.
2. Privateness: As this is a house, you will not have the same privacy than in a hotel, but this is also known in advance, due to the type of room you are booking.

So the overview is very, very good. The main point is that you must be fully aware of what you are looking for. If you have clear your needs, this service is fully recommendable.

Our stay in London went perfectly thanks to Davide and Jan who were very welcoming and very friendly. The flat was great, clean, with a nice room, nice bed (useful after all those hours of walking!), a nice bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen. The flat is alsa well located. Near the underground and especially near the sites to see. We recommend without hesitation these hosts.

We really liked our stay in London thanks to David and Jan. They are very friendly, what makes you feel like at home. The breakfast is quite good. The apartment is really near to London city center and there are a lot of bars, restaurants, buses and that stuff near the apartment. If we go back to London, we'll go back to this apartment!
